A NASCAR experience that upset many Southern folk

Rarely do we know about the lives of the pilots who fly us around the world. Our brief interactions with them consist of listening to in-flight announcements they make thousands of feet above the earth, or saying goodbye to them as we disembark from airplanes.

Leonard Miller, a pilot for United Airlines, has a life worth knowing about.

Miller is the author of Racing While Black, a book chronicling his experience owning the first, and so far only, NASCAR team run by African Americans.
